Recorded plaque organisation: Norwich Heritage Economic and Regeneration Trust.
The Bell Hotel, Norwich, has been a significant social hub since the late 15th century, hosting various influential clubs including the anti-Methodist Hell Fire Club and the French-inspired Revolution Club, reflecting its role in local political and social movements.
